I personally don't get wrapped up with all this inflation thing. I see so many things that have not changed prices then have went higher. Lumber nd building supplies have been better now then the last 4 years and gas is the lowest it has been in 4 years here. Somethings go up and I just don't pay them and substitute or do without.

I am in a rare position compared to most people my age at 45. I have very limited bills. But even with limited bills and a lot of overtime I have noticed a very large increase in what my living expenses are costing. From food to utilities and insurance. Our electric has go up im not sure the % but water is up 60%. What I do know is I often wonder how in the world most people are getting by. I know what im making with all the ot and my limited bills. I know what the jobs around me pay and its why I travel for work. When I see 2 newer vehicles and the new houses going up at what they cost All in can figure is 1. I made bad job/life choices. Or 2. A huge % of people are in a ton of debt. I lean to 2 since reading about how high consumers credit card debt is and has risen. So even though I feel the effects of inflation and its not killing me, I know if im feeling it it has to be affecting others not as fortunate much harder. So even if your not in a spot it directly hits you or me hard when it hits the population and they're spending drops it will negatively effect the economy and that will hit everyone just in different ways. Luckily inflation has slowed down or at least seems to some to me from how fast things were climbing in price a year ago.

Inflation is caused by the increase in money supply,,,
When someone goes to a bank and gets a loan,,,,, the bank just gives them the money. If they meet the requirements
The money is not backed by anything,,,
They just print more money!!!!!!!?!!!!
This is what causes inflation,,,,lowering the purchasing power of your dollar
It’s a nasty cycle!!!!
Educate yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you have been around long enough, you realize that. They used to call it currency devaluation when less developed nations did it. Price, cost,value, etc... Might seem like synonyms, but not really.
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. O Lord please don't let me be misunderstood.

Money just facilitates barter. U.S. money is backed by faith. The money supply has been decreasing due to QT and yet inflation persists. Inflation has many causes other than increasing money supply. I'll apparently never get it.  "The U.S. money supply has experienced a significant period of contraction, particularly from late 2022 through much of 2024. The year-over-year growth in the money supply, measured by the Rothbard-Salerno money supply (TMS), was negative for seventeen consecutive months, with the decline being the largest since the Great Depression. This contraction was driven by the Federal Reserve's quantitative tightening, which reduced its balance sheet, and higher interest rates, which led to a decline in savings deposits."

There was 3-4 post trying to explain inflation before I jumped In
Inflation isn’t that hard to explain,,,,
QE is way more prolific than QT,,,,,
Just look at who’s buying the bonds ????
It’s the same in in every country,,,,
It’s ugly!!!

Activist treasury issuance. The treasury manipulating the money supply intentionally by the way in which they choose to issue their debt.
